Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 69 Summer chores (1)
The villagers in Yangjiaji have been talking about Cai's affairs the most these days.Cai Qing is not an aborigine in this village. The head of the Cai family, Cai Cheng, used to be a businessman and made a fortune in the capital. Five or six years ago, he returned home with his wife and children, and built a large house with dozens of acres of land. , is also one of the few people in the village.

It is said that his wife, Mrs. Lu, is a maidservant of a family, and is deeply favored by the head of the family.At the age, a rich dowry is given and released to marry.

And one of the honored guests who came this time is the master's young master, who is handsome and personable.Many idle women and husbands hang around Cai's house when they have nothing to do, and they all want to get first-hand information as soon as possible.

It was also said that Cai Qing's biological father was not actually Cai Cheng, but died in the bandit riot 16 years ago.

As for the truth, no one knows.Compared with other families, the Cai family does not have such close contacts with people.Lu seems to be in poor health and stays at home most of the time.The Cai family is a very mysterious place to the villagers.

Cai Qing has been very busy these days, going to town and county to buy things from time to time.Sometimes I also buy some eggs and vegetables from the villagers.

That evening, Cai Qing came to Yang's house again.

Aunt Li happened to be at home, so she hurried out to greet her with a smile.

Cai Qing gave Li Zhu a handful of candy, and he would give some to the children in the village from time to time, and Li Zhu was treated like a child by him.After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Cai Qing explained the purpose of his visit: he wanted to buy some ducks for cooking.

"The stuff at my aunt's house is better than other people's. The stewed pork I bought a few days ago is very popular. I'll weigh it later."

Aunt Li was naturally very happy when she heard that these distinguished guests also liked her own things.She took Cai Qing to the duck pen to catch ducks.Aunt Li also has a gossiping nature, so she couldn't help asking, "Ah Qing, who is your relative who is here this time?"

Cai Qing didn't hide anything, and said, "It's my nanny brother and his friend, they passed by here to see my mother."

Aunt Li suddenly realized that the Lu family was actually the nanny of a wealthy family.

The two stood outside the duck pen and talked, and Aunt Li asked him to choose.The ducks crowded and squawked, and the pen was in a mess.

Cai Qing praised: "Auntie, you raise this duck really well." For the same duck, the Yang family is fatter and has smoother fur than other ducks.

Aunt Li felt complacent for a while, but at the same time she spared no effort to praise her niece: "This is all thanks to Xiaozhu. It's strange to say that these animals seem to like her."

"Here, look, my rabbit is two laps fatter than Xiaofeng's, and it jumps much higher."

Cai Qing smiled and glanced at the rabbit nest next to him, there were two big fat rabbits jumping up and down.

"Indeed." Cai Qing cast his eyes on Li Zhu who was standing beside him while speaking.

Aunt Li grabbed three big fat ducks and handed them to Cai Qing with their wings.Cai Qing gave the money on the spot.At the end, he turned his head slightly and asked Li Zhu, "Have you ever raised cows and horses?"

Li Zhu didn't know why he asked this question, so he shook his head and replied, "No."

"It's okay, I'll just ask."

During dinner, the Cai family naturally became the topic of conversation at the Yang family's dinner table.

Aunt Li said: "No wonder I think Ah Qing is different from the boys in our village. It turns out that he also lived in a rich family. The milk brother of the young master of the Lu family should not have a low status."

Yang Modao: "I haven't heard him say too much. He doesn't seem to like to mention family matters very much."

Aunt Li couldn't help sighing: "Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. However, Dachengzi (Cai Cheng) is generally a good person. It's not too harsh to treat him." After all, there are only a few people in this world who are as good as Li's parents. .

Li Zhu didn't expect that she would meet these legendary figures the next morning.
